Hi!

I am aiming to program a procedure into my task, but I do not know whether this is even possible, or how this would be programmed, which is why I wanted to ask for help!

During my experiment, there is a learning phase. Usually during this phase, participants need to learn word pairs, and then are tested on their memory. What I was thinking to integrate was a drop-off procedure for the memory test. Thus, the participant needs to recall every response correctly once to get to the next stage. More specifically, upon seeing the first word of the pair:
if the individuals recalls the second word of the word pair correctly, this pair is dropped off the list of the to-be-learned words
if the individuals incorrectly/or fails to recall the second word of the word pair, this pair remains in the to-be-learned words, and appears again in the test.

This process would ideally continue until all words are correctly recalled once. When this is the case, the participant would move on to the next stage.

Would this be possible to program? And if yes, would you have an idea as to how (?), as I am really struggling to even imagine the code for this.

Thank you very much for the help!!
